"weh_chr" and "junijuniors" Chop Up "IceStream"

Level 29 : 25,000/50,000, 60,000 ante

A sizable three-way pre-flop all-in saw the feild reduced to 71, with "IceStream" hitting the rail in 72nd place for the first payout at the new ladder level, cashing for $1,109.05.

"weh_chr" opened the action under-the-gun for a min-raise of 100,000, with "IceStream" making it 1,002,749 from the hi-ack, leaving themselves 50,000 behind. "junijuniorz" re-shoved all-in for 2,614,451 from the big blind and "weh_chr" made the call for their tournament life.

weh_chr: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
junijuniorz: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
IceStream: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

"IceStream" was trailing with jacks to the other two payer's pocket aces and the {k-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} runout saw them eliminated while "weh_chr" and "junijuniorz" chopped up the chips.
